Jeremy Renner Says Hawkeye’s ‘Avengers’ Costume Will Be ‘Reality-Based’; Hints At Relationship With Black Widow
As far as confirmed characters inThe Avengersgo, the only member of the team whose costume has yet to be revealed is Hawkeye, the orphan who goes on to become a master archer. We’ve seen Captain America’s costumein action, and we’ve gotten anearlylookat Thor’s, but what sort of outfit willJeremy Rennerbe sporting? Will he be donning the pointy purple mask and matching loincloth? Hit the break to read Renner’s response.
MTVspoke to Renner, and this is what he had to say:
If handled right, Hawkeyedoesn’t have to look silly. But it’ll be interesting to see how (or if) his appearance is toned down without outright removing trademark aspects of the character, such as the mask. His costume in the comic is easily one of the more outlandish out of all theAvengerscharacters, but those qualities helped to differentiate him from The Green Arrow, another popular comic book archer. I suspect they’ll at least attempt to retain the purple color scheme.
Then there’s Hawkeye’s relationship with Black Widow (played in the film byScarlett Johansson), which comes into play heavily with his joining of The Avengers.
Wikipediadetails the characters' history together:
When asked if this relationship with Black Widow would be reflected in the film, Jeremy Renner hinted that it would, at least to some degree.
We will [have a relationship], I think, in this one as well. We’re kind of a team, and what that relationship is, is still to be discovered.
